CodeColorer WordPress plugin
We’ve been exploring the options for easily adding code examples to a forthcoming new section on commonagency.com and CodeColorer definitely seems the most complete of all the available ones. We required a means of presenting various languages including AS3 and PHP, syntax colouring, line numbering, minimal admin effort and decent markup in the output, all in a plugin that must still be in active development but not in alpha/beta! Nearly all the examples tested used the Geshi underlying code but CodeColorer seems to be the best solution so far.
- CodeColorer – our preferred option so far.
- Chili Code Highlighter [still in beta]
- CodeHighlighter [seems good but couldn't tell if it supports AS3]
- FV Code Highlighter [didn't appear to support AS3 and not tested with v.2.7]
- Code Snippet [seems to be one of the original options but no longer in active development]
- Dojox WordPress Syntax Highlighter [sounds quite good but limited documentation and not in English!]
…and lots more on wordpress.org.
